Back, left, and Andy Key are in their first season in charge of Leeds

Leeds Carnegie head coach Neil Back has warned that the club have won nothing yet and still have work to do to achieve success this year.

The National League One leaders are now strong favourites to achieve a league cup double after reaching the National Trophy final.

"No one within the squad thinks the job is done yet and we've never thought that," Back told BBC Radio Leeds.

"It's not done till it's done because there are still too many games left."

Leeds dramatically beat Nottingham at Meadow Lane in the Trophy semi-final 14-13, thanks to a Rob Vickerman try eight minutes into injury time, to setup a Twickenham final against Moseley on Saturday, 18 April (kick-off 1200 GMT).

It proved to be the perfect weekend for Leeds, as Moseley's 32-24 Trophy win over Exeter Chiefs also served as a National League One game too due to a backlog of fixtures.

It was second-placed Exeter's game in hand on Leeds, and their defeat means the West Yorkshire side now lead the division by four points with just five games left.

Back added: "We are in charge of our own destiny and I believe the squad is good enough to get the job down and do the double."
